Chapter 146 Divine Punishment Descends Upon Cherry Blossoms
This moment.
The light streaming through the dome of the Kyoto National Stadium in the land of cherry blossoms turned into pure gold.
It was as if someone in the sky had lit up a golden sun.
Abe Shōkichi was stunned.
He subconsciously looked up at the dome.
Then, his pupils suddenly contracted.
Outside the dome.
That once clear, azure sky...
At this moment, it is being slowly bathed in a vast expanse of gold.
The golden light surged in from the horizon, covering the sky and stretching to the horizon.
Inside the hall.
The cheers gradually subsided.
Everyone realized something was wrong.
They looked up at the dome.
Then, one by one, they opened their mouths wide, unable to utter a sound.
outside.
On the streets of Kyoto.
The pedestrians stopped in their tracks.
The driver stopped the car.
The shop assistants went outside.
Everyone was looking up.
Looking at the sky.
Look at that patch of gold that is getting brighter.
The golden light surged in from the east and spread extremely quickly.
A few seconds later, the entire sky over Kyoto turned golden.
A few more seconds passed.
The entire Kanto region.
The entire state/island.
The entire cherry blossom country...
From the snowfields of Hokkaido to the islands of Kyushu.
From fishing villages on the east coast to cities on the west coast.
Everyone saw the same scene.
sky.
It turned gold.
The gold was pure and dazzling, like flowing gold, covering the entire sky.
Countless people knelt down.
Some people thought it was a miracle, and they put their hands together and prayed devoutly.
Some people thought it was the end of the world and huddled with their loved ones, trembling with fear.
But those cultivators, those Onmyoji, those priests...
Their faces turned ashen.
Because they sensed it.
Within that golden hue...
It contains a divine power as vast as the ocean.
as well as……
A chilling murderous intent!
Inside the arena.
Abe Shokichi stood on the stage, his body stiff as a stone.
He felt an indescribable pressure descending from the sky.
Its oppressive aura was as vast as the might of the heavens, and its indifference as cold as ancient ice.
Faced with this overwhelming pressure, his pride in his cultivation, everything he had painstakingly built...
As insignificant as dust.
He wanted to move.
But he found that he couldn't move at all.
My body felt like it was bound by invisible chains, and I couldn't even lift a finger.
His knees began to buckle.
thump!
He finally couldn't hold on any longer and collapsed to his knees on the stage.
His head was bowed, and his body was trembling violently.
And around him were officials, Onmyoji, priests, and ordinary people from the land of Sakura...
One after another, they knelt down on the ground.
Overwhelmed by the oppressive force descending from the sky, they were forced to prostrate themselves on the ground.
But oddly enough...
Deputy Director Eric, who was standing on the stage, was completely unaffected.
He stood there, staring blankly at the Japanese people kneeling in a sea of white, then looked up at the sky.
I have absolutely no idea what's going on.
The same was true of Bishop Bernard, who was standing next to him.
The two looked at each other and saw the confusion and shock in each other's eyes.
Why...
Are they alright?
Those Japanese people, however, all knelt down?
It's not just them.
Everyone in the stadium who was not from Japan was safe and sound.
The extraordinary individuals of Europa stood there, looking at each other in bewilderment.
The members of the New World team looked at each other.
The ascetic monks of the White Elephant Kingdom...
Everyone is fine.
Only the people of Japan were forced to their knees by that oppressive aura.
For a moment, the entire arena fell into an eerie silence.
Only the rapid breathing and trembling bodies of those Japanese people kneeling on the ground testified to the existence of that oppressive aura.
Just then.
Changes occurred in the sky.
Golden light slowly condensed.
Slowly contracting.
finally……
It transformed into a giant golden sword that spanned the heavens and the earth.
It hangs in the sky, blade pointing downwards, aimed at the entire Cherry Blossom Country.
at the same time.
New World.
Headquarters of the Bureau of Paranormal Research.
The piercing alarm sounded throughout the entire building.
"Report! An immeasurably high-intensity energy fluctuation has been detected over Japan!"
"Energy peak...has exceeded the monitoring limit!"
"Satellite! Retrieve satellite imagery immediately!"
On the large screen, satellite images switched rapidly.
Then, everyone was stunned.
on the screen.
Over that narrow strip of sky over the island nation...
A dazzling golden light stretched across the sky from east to west.
The length of that light...
"My God..."
Someone murmured.
"What is that...?"
"That's... a sword?!"
"A giant sword that spans the entire country of cherry blossoms?!"
The same scene unfolded in Europe.
It took place in the Gris Federation.
It happened in the Kingdom of White Elephant.
This happened in every country on Earth that had the capability to monitor it.
Everyone who witnessed this scene was deeply shocked and terrified.
That sword...
Where did it come from?
Who made that cut?
Why...
Will it hang over the land of cherry blossoms?
And this moment.
Kyoto, the land of cherry blossoms.
Inside the National Stadium.
The giant golden sword that stretched across the sky began to slash down.
boom!!!
An indescribable roar resounded throughout the heavens and earth!
That was the sound of the sky being torn apart!
That's the sound of air bursting when it's compressed to its limit!
The entire sky of the Cherry Blossom Country rippled with visible waves under this sword strike!
The ripples spread in layers, spreading in all directions, just like ripples on the surface of water!
Wherever it passed, the clouds instantly vanished!
Abe Shōkichi braced himself with his hands on the ground, his forehead pressed against the cold floor, his whole body trembling violently.
Wherever it passed, the clouds instantly vanished!
Abe Shōkichi braced himself with his hands on the ground, his forehead pressed against the cold floor, his whole body trembling violently.
His face was filled with fear.
He remembered what he had just said.
"The future of the land of cherry blossoms is incredibly bright."
What now?
The light has come!
But is this what he wanted?!
On the stage, Bishop Bernard and Deputy Director Eric exchanged a glance, and a thought simultaneously surfaced in their minds.
This sword...
We came here specifically for Japan, the land of cherry blossoms!
It's for all the people of Japan who love cherry blossoms!
We meant no harm to these foreigners!
This is……
Divine punishment!
This is divine punishment directed at the land of cherry blossoms!
who is it?
Who unleashed this divine punishment?!
At the same time, a name came to mind for both of them.
Summer.
That ancient country in the East.
That unfathomable being.
Is it...
Bishop Bernard recalled what his deputy had just said.
"Your Excellency, an urgent report from within the country! A terrifying energy fluctuation has been detected in the direction of Kunlun in Great Xia! The energy level... is incalculable!"
Deputy Director Eric also recalled what his deputy had said.
"Director! Something major has happened in Daxia! Satellite monitoring detected a beam of golden light shooting into the sky over the Kunlun Yuzhu Peak area! It's suspected that a terrifying entity has intervened!"
Now they finally understand.
The terrifying energy fluctuations detected in Kunlun...
This is the sword!
Someone unleashed a sword strike in the Great Xia Kunlun Mountains.
This sword strike covered a distance of nearly four thousand kilometers and directly struck the land of cherry blossoms!
What a terrifying method this is!
What a terrifying existence this is!
Bishop Bernard's body trembled even more violently.
He has lived for over sixty years and knows countless secrets.
But he never imagined that someone in this world could achieve such a level of accomplishment.
One sword strike, cutting across four thousand kilometers.
One sword strike, and the entire nation was shrouded in darkness.
Deputy Director Eric was also trembling.
But his trembling also carried a hint of relief.
Fortunately, this sword strike was only aimed at Japan.
Fortunately, they did not provoke such a being in their new continent.
If... if one day, this sword strikes the New World...
He dared not think any further.
In the sky.
The golden greatsword continued its downward strike.
Getting closer.
Getting closer.
The entire cherry blossom country is under its shadow.
Countless people knelt on the ground, trembling.
Countless people closed their eyes, awaiting death.
And it was at this moment of despair.
Sudden.
hum! ! !
A deep hum resounded from the depths of the land of cherry blossoms.
Followed by.
A bluish-white light shot into the sky from the depths of Mount Fuji!
The light collided with the golden giant sword in the sky!
boom!!!
Amidst the earth-shattering roar, the entire Cherry Blossom Country trembled violently!
Countless houses collapsed with a roar!
Numerous landslides and collapses!
A tsunami rose from the coastline and roared inland!
At this moment, the land of cherry blossoms is facing an unprecedented catastrophe!
